“Being able to tap into the expertise of the extraordinary GOLF editorial team provides us a unique opportunity to bolster our best-in-class golf shopping experience,” said Kellen Tallada, Head of Technology & Digital at 8AM GOLF, the parent company of both Fairway Jockey and GOLF. “This partnership helps solidify our position as the ultimate internet destination for custom clubs, shafts and beyond.”
How It Works
Visitors to Fairway Jockey’s ‘Custom Shop’ can easily navigate their way through the ordering process for any club or shaft option they desire. The level of detail available for every possible variable, including color, loft, lie, length, stiffness, grip, has redefined what’s possible for a custom order.
Fairway Jockey’s “What’s In The Bag” (#WITB) series gives customers editorial insight about what the pros are using on Tour, allowing them to confidently purchase the same clubs with just a few clicks. The easy to use and intuitive interaction is not limited to just ordering custom clubs and shafts — it similarly helps consumers make educated purchases on the full array of premium golf products available on fairwayjockey.com.
“Our goal is to help educate and inspire Fairway Jockey customers throughout their research for products that will help improve their game,” said Jason Adel, CEO of GOLF Magazine and GOLF.com. “We’re confident the exclusive content we provide consumers with helps them to make direct purchases with confidence.”
Customers also have the option to get fit by phone just by answering a series of questions, from Fairway Jockey’s world-class club fitters, that are designed to assess swing and equipment needs. Or if someone has already been fit, they can upload their specs to save up to 20% on custom clubs.
For even further added value, Fairway Jockey’s “Jockey Club Rewards” program will now offer GOLF’s “InsideGOLF” loyalty program in order to create even more compelling perks for members.
While these latest improvements vastly enhance the customer experience, Fairway Jockey consumers will still be able to take advantage of the familiar features for which the company has become known. The first-of-its-kind custom club configurator offers a unique selection of premium aftermarket shafts and the latest clubhead releases from all top manufacturers. The proprietary club-building matrix also allows customers to consult with Master Fitters before ordering. These free appointments provide a tremendous opportunity for customers who may want to delve into the most granular of details, or receive valuable guidance about top brands from a certified, tour-level expert.
